You’ve obviously never had the water in Polk County, Florida! [emoji12]

Actually... I have! I know what you're saying, it's crappy water, but it's still water.... drinking it would be nothing like wiping your butt with a critter! :-)

You are no doubt gonna pay for that statement, I can hear the animal lovers lining up for a shot at you now ;-)
This pandemic would have been so much more convenient at a time of year when the leaves weren't so dry and crunchy ...but at least I have an endless supply of hot water. The sales of bidets should go through the roof, I wonder how much Crocodile Dundee would charge for an endorsement??

Peta?
 

I suspect most PETA members are not NRA members, so, he'll be safe.

If they didn't come after me for stationing the cats up on the roof for " rodent search and destroy ", I think they'll let this one slide as well...

No paper? Try this:

Beats wiping with a porcupine!:D

I have my own smart bidet...ME! A slight shift and wiggle flushes away all lingering “resi-doo” :D

Mike Huckabee suggests people use corn cobs. Guess I’ll go stock up.

A story on WMUR early news today had a story on re-usable toilet paper.

Yes : you read that correctly, re-usable toilet paper. :)

...... Heath's is the best!
 

Heath's super market in Center Harbor has adjusted their hours:

Monday - Saturday: 8 to 6

Sunday: 8 to 1
....................

7am to 8am, Monday - Saturday: age 60+ and immunity compromised

Has Market Basket in Tilton instituted the changes announced on Saturday and shown in the media? I.e., 6-foot distancing in the line outside the store?

Media reports do NOT say that Market Basket is enforcing a 6-foot rule at the checkout. Is that correct?

I can't understand why Market Basket has been so slow to implement these changes, behind other stores.

Shopped at Heaths the other day. They had TP and paper towels, pasta, the meat case was full, good supply of chicken and seafood....doing much better job than Hannafords

No clingon's?:emb:

:laugh: Not that I would mention anyway...:D

My guess is yes.
 

I can tell you that I was in the Rochester MB last week (Wed or Thu), and they were practicing the 6' "rule" at the registers. When it was my turn to approach the register, I put my articles on the belt, pushed my cart ahead for the bagger, and stood by the credit card machine. Suddenly, the cashier says "Sir, you need to get back behind the line on the floor. " I looked back and a gentleman with gloves and a mask on was loading his groceries on the belt. The checkout areas were set up quite well defining each checkout line, with gray floor markings showing the 6' areas. Not sure how things are at all MBs now, but my guess they are compliant.

FWIW

One-Way Aisles...
 

The Safeway markets in California have implemented one-way aisles. Painted arrows on the floor provide the guidance and 6' distancing remains.

My Market Basket has that too, but I did not notice right away.

So... did your basket end up looking like FLL's car? :coolsm:

At Hanniford in Meredith on Saturday there was somebody walking around in there with a ski mask on, the thought crossed my mind... is this guy for real or here to rob the place?!?

Heaths meat sale
 

Called the store, they said no more meat sales till probably late in the fall. Don't blame them, there would probably be fist fights in the isles, LOL

Hannafords Gilford does this now too, if you don’t know when u start it’s like a maze...

Face Masks:
 

Sent by a friend...

What the US military is recommending for face masks--including the number of layers:

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/y...ce-mask-rules/

Been using Instacart for the past 3 weeks. It's been great, a few substitutions here and there. They cover Demoulas, Shaws, BJs and CVS. A little bit pricey and I do miss going to the store (surprisingly), but a good alternative.

Walmart Grocery Pickup
 

We just returned from Walmart grocery pickup in Plymouth. It worked out great. They have a nice mobile app that lets you select what you want, alerts you when it is ready and tracks your arrival so they can bring it out. The only pain was having to get up early a day before (like 5AM) to get a delivery slot. When we pulled in, there was only one other car and our groceries came out within a few minutes. The quality of the fresh produce was great. It felt much safer than walking the isles and standing at the register. We'll be back.

I’m surprised more stores haven’t installed cough shields in front of the checkout people. My brother in law was required by State of CT to do it at his liquor store.

I was at the exit 20 Demoulas in Tilton this AM during their special old poopies hours and the procedures they had in place made what could be considered a bit scary just fine. Almost all of the clients entering the store had masks on and seemed to respect the spacing recommendations. There was a momentary delay getting in but it really wasn't an issue. The staff was as always polite and friendly ...but surprisingly none seemed to wear masks??

Was there enforced 6-foot distancing at the cash register?

How many people were waiting between 6:00 and 7:00?

Any empty shelves or missing products?

Yes, there was a 6' setback marked at the checkout and additionally there were stacks of goods between the rows.
There really wasn't a wait outside but there was a well spoken fellow delaying everyone for just a few minutes as he explained how MB wishes our visit would go. Inside I would say that the conditions were steady and busy but never really crowded. Still it was surprising to see so many folks there just after 6 am and the staff mentioned that Tuesday was proving to be far busier than Monday, I suspect that this trend will continue for the immediate future. When I left just after 7 a much younger crowd was coming in ...and there were far fewer face masks. I've never been afraid of getting down and dirty but when it comes to a plague like this I think that caution and consideration for others should definitely take presidence over vanity or inconvenience. My next visit to Demoulas will definitely be during their early S S citizen hours.

Here I would like to offer my sincere thanks to the Demoulas family and the Market Basket employees for doing their best to mitigate any issues during these very troubling times, Bravo!
...and oh yeah, the stock level was fairly good but you only get one package of TP per visit

Whoa!

Codex-19 is NOT a "plague."

Plague is disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis.

We have all heard of the bubonic plague, which was caused by rats infested with Yersinia pestis.

Codex-19 is caused by a virus:big difference.

Let's not fan the flames of fear with fuzzy thinking.

Only One Roll
 

Bummer!!!!

Market Basket/Rochester
 

We got there around 7:00 AM. There was no line to get in. 75% of the people I saw shopping had masks. Very little TP, just single rolls. There was a clerk there telling people thy could take up to 4. Most of what I needed could not be found there but I understand... Went to Hannaford and they had almost everything we needed.

I got one of those a few weeks ago. It works great and yes- you use a lot less toilet paper.

Corn cobs, takes care of the itching from below :)

Hannaford - why no masks?!!!
 

Just shopped at Hannaford in Guilford. While some stocking staff were wearing masks, none of the cashiers and baggers were. What gives Hannaford?! You are missing the boat here. It is a courtesy to your shoppers (the majority of whom were wearing masks). Get with it!

We went shopping at Hannaford in Bedford yesterday and I was shocked to see cashiers and baggers not wearing masks and gloves. Yeah, what gives Hannaford’s?

Thank you for posting more details about your visit---very helpful.
Personally, I'm disappointed in Market Basket's very late response to COVID-19. They were waiting for the state or federal government to order them to enforce social distancing. When government leadership is lacking, we still need to do what is obviously needed. In his early orders Sununu was essentially saying, "You can't congregate by the dozens in bars because it's dangerous, but it's OK to congregate by the hundreds in grocery stores."

The lack of common sense during this crisis is distressing. One of the biggest lessons here is to take precautions BEFORE a crisis overwhelms us, not at the moment when things are getting bad. There was never a reason to believe that what was happening in China wasn't going to make its way around the world, or that the virus wasn't going to move from New York and Boston to New Hampshire.

It seems that somewhere in your final paragraph- you have achieved the triple-double (negative). Hall of fame bound? :rolleye1:
